Cupstack began in 1983 at the Boy's and Girl's Club in Oceanside, California. Their goals have always been;

• To increase self-esteem and competitiveness for those who may not excel in typical sports like baseball, football & basketball due to physical limitations or lack of interest. Any child has the potential to excel in the Cupstack sport.
• Developing eye-hand coordination was another goal of Cupstack Inc, an essential developmental need in children as they grow.
• Providing an activity that will occupy youth's after-school time thus preventing exposure to drug use, gang activities and other undesirable or illegal activities. Problems like these not only face the kids in Oceanside CA, but in all urban cities around the country.

Working in partnership with Youth Opportunities Network (YON), Cupstack Inc. is focused on helping youths in America. It is fast becoming a popular sport within the schools and community organizations around the country. From a leisurely game played at home, an after-school activity, to national competitions, Cupstack has proven to be beneficial to both children and young adults in many ways. Watching an experienced Cupstacker often times amazes someone unfamiliar with the sport due to the speed, skilled eye-hand coordination and command of the sport. This kind of skill can be ascertained by almost any child or young adult. Working together YON, Cupstack Inc. can provide assistance with Fundraising events benefiting underprivileged kids and families, gang prevention and intervention, or raising funds to provide after-school activities in an urban environment. Working with schools, local community organizations and faith-based organizations, Cupstack provides special pricing for fundraising events. A free instructional DVD is available to organizations thinking of including Cupstack in their fundraising event. Send an email with your name, organization name, address and phone number to info@youthopportunitiesnetwork.org. Please include the purpose of your fundraising event in your email. Cupstack Inc. also guarantees unbeatable pricing, no matter how small an order is, so all kids are afforded the opportunity to participate in Cupstacking.
